Bullfight in the Arena: Background & Facts

Bullfighting is one of Spain’s best-known traditions, with roots in the Middle Ages. The matador wears the elaborate “traje de luces,” associated with elegance and courage. The cloth — often misunderstood as a purely red symbol — primarily serves movement and show. The bull is seen as a symbol of strength and pride. This coloring motif focuses on the dynamics of the moment, not on violence — a playful way to explore history, art, and culture. Strong contrasts can produce striking results while coloring.
